About Kraken
Our mission is to accelerate the adoption of cryptocurrency so that you and the rest of the world can achieve financial freedom and inclusion. In our first decade, Kraken has risen to become one of the largest, most successful and respected crypto exchanges on the planet. 
We are changing the way the world thinks about finance and our range of successful products are playing a critical role in the mainstream adoption of crypto assets. We continue to trail-blaze into new territory with the introduction of Kraken Bank, providing a more seamless integration between crypto and the traditional financial system. This makes us the first crypto company (ever) to be awarded a U.S. state banking charter. 
Our diverse group of 2,400+ Krakenites are distributed all over the world as part of our 'remote first' culture, united by a shared passion for delighting customers, upholding crypto values and achieving our meaningful mission. We attract people who push themselves to improve, are radically transparent and think differently in order to unlock their potential. 
Crypto is a rapidly evolving industry and we’re just getting started. We’re growing fast and you're invited to join the revolution!
About this role
As a UX writer, you’re an advocate for Kraken design principles, influencing product experiences across platforms by creating useful, meaningful copy that helps our clients achieve their goals. You help define the vision and narratives across multiple trading platforms and applications. You collaborate with people in a variety of UX design-related roles including product managers, developers, marketing and customer experience teams to establish a unified voice across all of our products. You consistently use empathy, logic and data to inform content choices and thrive when challenged to solve the new and unknown. 
You’re also a content strategist, defining product vision and narratives across multiple platforms and products you will co-own with designers as the content subject matter expert. You will drive guidelines and document best practices, oversee complex omnichannel projects, and work with leadership to establish product goals. 
User experience is at the core of how we create intuitive, innovative trading experiences for Kraken clients. We strive to learn and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and emotions to gather insights that inform product strategy and design. We work together on collaborative teams, all unified under a single goal to make cryptocurrency easy and accessible to everyone. 
Throughout the history of civilization, there have been a handful of moments that changed the course of how we think about wealth and equality. The discovery of gold, the creation of paper money, mortgages, ATMs. We’re at the next of those moments right now, and there is no more exciting place to invest your creativity than directly at this intersection of technology and adventure.
